226 Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf: Treblinka
Other ‘Sonderkommandos 1005’ were allegedly deployed in Lithuania, in Estonia,
in the Bia�ystok district, in the General Gouvernement and in Yugoslavia.

Now, if one considers that, according to the most comprehensive studies on
this subject that exist, the Einsatzgruppen alone are supposed to have shot
2,200,000 people (Jews and non-Jews), 658 that Wehrmacht, SS, and police
units are also accused of hundreds of thousands of murders, and that – as already
emphasized – neither the Soviets nor the Poles have found any mass
graves with as many as a few thousand bodies, the ‘Sonderkommandos 1005’
must have exhumed and burned between one-and-a-half and three million
bodies. This means that within a period of 13 months they had to have emptied
thousands of graves at hundreds of locations, which were scattered over
an enormous area – all of this without leaving behind any material or documentary
traces!
Without thousands of maps, on which the graves were marked, it would
quite obviously have been impossible to locate those thousands of mass graves
in a territory of more than 1.2 million square kilometers, but no such maps are
mentioned in even a single Einsatzgruppe report or any other document, or
have any such maps ever been found among the German documents captured
by the victors of World War II. And if – as the witnesses report – thousands of
pyres were burning during the night despite blackout regulations, no Soviet
reconnaissance plane discovered and photographed them – for otherwise the
photographs would have been exploited at once for propaganda purposes.
Thomas Sandkühler plays this down: 659
“Due to the extreme secrecy of the ‘Operation 1005,’ written sources
on it are very rare.”
In other words, there are none! Sandkühler’s statement reflects the total
embarrassment, which orthodox historians feel in the face of this outrage,
while simultaneously serving up the customary stale explanation: the documents
do not exist “due to the strict secrecy”! This hypothesis stands in glaring
contrast to a fact, which Gerald Reitlinger describes: 660
“The original series [of Einsatzgruppen reports] consisted of nearly two
hundred reports with a circulation list of sixty to a hundred copies each.
[…]
It is not easy to see why the murderers left such an abundant testimony
behind them, […]”
